THE EARLY CHILDHOOD DETERMINANTS OF TIME PREFERENCES [PDF]
Research on time preference formation and socioeconomic differences in discounting has received little attention to date. This article examines the extent to which early childhood differences emerge in measures of hyperactivity, impulsivity and ...

Technology assessment between risk, uncertainty and ignorance [PDF]
, 2012 The use of most if not all technologies is accompanied by negative side effects, While we may profit from today’s technologies, it is most often future generations who bear most risks.

The implication of the hyperbolic discount model for annuitisation decisions [PDF]
, 2019 The low demand for immediate annuities at retirement has been a long-standing puzzle. We show that a hyperbolic discount model can explain this behaviour and results in the attractiveness of long-term deferred annuities.

Overcoming the Nyquist Limit in Molecular Hyperspectral Imaging by Reinforcement Learning
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Explorative spectral acquisition guide automatically selects informative spectral bands to optimize downstream tasks, outperforming full‐spectrum acquisition. The selected hyperspectral data are used for tasks such as unmixing and segmentation. BandOptiNet encodes selection states and outputs optimal bands to guide spectral acquisition. Recent advances

Social Discounting Under Uncertainty: A cross-country comparison [PDF]
Recent research suggests that social cost-benefit analysis should be con- ducted with a declining discount rate. For instance, Newell and Pizer [23] show that the U.S.

Social motives vs social influence: an experiment on interdependent time preferences [PDF]
, 2017 We report experimental evidence on the effects of social preferences on intertemporal decisions. To this aim, we design an intertemporal Dictator Game to test whether Dictators modify their discounting behavior when their own decision is imposed on their

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Variational Autoencoder+Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient addresses low‐light failures of infrared depth sensing for indoor robot navigation. Stage 1 pretrains an attention‐enhanced Variational Autoencoder (Convolutional Block Attention Module+Feature Pyramid Network) to map dark depth frames to a well‐lit reconstruction, yielding a 128‐D latent code ...
